Hello Holozing and Hive community! I'm excited to share my contest entry for the starter creatures background art contest. I decided to create a background scene for the adorable Grass Raccoon.

When thinking about an environment fitting for a Grass type Raccoon, I immediately pictured a lively, lush forest filled with tall trees, bushes, vines and bright green plants. I wanted to capture the Raccoon's playful personality by showing it frolicking through the woods without a care in the world.

I started by sketching out the basic layout and landscape. Once I had the composition, I began painting the background first before adding in the Raccoon. I painted vibrant green leaves, mossy tree trunks, dangling vines and bright flowers to really capture the vibrant colors of a fantasy forest.

After finishing the background, I added the transparency of the Grass Raccoon. I positioned it peering around a tree trunk with a curious yet mischievous look on its face. I absolutely loved blending this adorable creature into the woodland scene!

Below are the two final pieces, along with the full process and the final art piece.
